Chapter 164 Opportunity and Unwillingness

The dialogue between Shang Haozhi and Yan Fei was fruitless, but it solved his other problem - the choice between a hotel and a home.

Since both Shen Xin and Yan Fei mentioned Wang Wenhong, he felt it necessary to meet Wang Wenhong.

Therefore, returning to Junhao Hotel became his best choice.

When Shang Haozhi returned to the hotel, it was nearly twelve o'clock, but the hotel was still open.

The comic festival has just ended, and as the office and accommodation of the judging committee of the comic festival, the business hours will be postponed indefinitely—even though the Junhao Hotel is already open 24 hours in normal times.

When Shang Haozhi came to the front desk, the staff at the front desk immediately asked if he had any requirements.

"Let Wang Wenhong see me."

"Wang Wenhong?" The front desk staff was taken aback for a moment, not knowing who this person was.

"It's your staff, the logistics one, let him go to the coffee on the first floor... Uh, forget it, let him find me in my room."

Just drank a full stomach of black tea, Shang Haozhi didn't want to deal with coffee for the time being.

The front desk staff nodded after listening to Shang Haozhi's words.

Back in his room, Shang Haozhi untied his tie, washed his face a little, and then heard the doorbell ring.

Opening the door, he saw a young man wearing glasses and red work clothes standing in front of him.

He can be sure that he has definitely seen this young man.

"You are Wang Wenhong?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Yes. What do you need from me?" Wang Wenhong said softly.

"Stop pretending, it's not me looking for you, but you looking for me, right?" Shang Haozhi turned and entered the room, took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator, threw them to Wang Wenhong, and sat on the sofa by himself, "Just kidding me, Interesting, isn't it?"

Wang Wenhong came to the living room and put Coke on the coffee table, "I didn't tease you."

"Then what's the matter with "Y's"? All the editor's bedrooms have "Y's", why doesn't my room alone?" Shang Haozhi couldn't help asking.

"You are wrong. Are there any rooms for the editor-in-chiefs of "Comic Future", "Manga Fly" and "Manga Weekly"?"

From Shang Haozhi's series of questions, Wang Wenhong could deduce that Yan Fei or Shen Xin recommended him to Shang Haozhi. Now it's time for the showdown, and the outcome depends on it. Therefore, when he spoke, he had no scruples.

"I want to know why."

"Truth?"

"Um."

"The three of you don't have the right to vote for the 'Newcomer Award', so your opinions on "Y's" are irrelevant."

"..."

Shang Haozhi held the Coke, trying to crush the can.

The words are too ugly, what is "insignificant"! ?

Although it is true.

"The number of each comic provided by the hotel is fixed. I must make full use of these comics. If you put them in your bedroom,

There is no need to put it elsewhere. "

Shang Haozhi nodded slightly, what Wang Wenhong said was true.

"Besides, I don't blame you for not reading "Y's". Although you don't have it in your bedroom, there are "Y's" booklets in the conference room, lounge, and restaurant. It's just that you, and the other two magazines The editor-in-chief always feels that "Y's" can't be put on the stage." Wang Wenhong clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Facts have proved that the quality of comics is above everything else. Anyone who has been in the comics industry for a while will know the value of "Y's" How much progress has been made."

Shang Haozhi stroked his mustache, which was what he cared most about. It is not uncommon for a newcomer to draw an excellent comic. But Shen Xin's speed of progress surprised him.

The painting style of the first volume is a little immature, but by the fifth volume, it is quite mature and of high quality.

This is the most important reason for Shang Haozhi's heart.

Lost in thought, he glanced at Wang Wenhong again, "I heard that you were an editor before, why didn't you do it?"

"The author under me lost to Teacher Shen. I think I should take this responsibility."

"Then why don't you vote for Jane anymore?"

"I voted. Your magazine didn't give it." Wang Wenhong rolled his eyes. If you want it, I will go to such great lengths.

Shang Haozhi suddenly exerted force on his hand, and the can made a crisp sound.

"You said you submitted your resume?"

"Um."

I do not know how?

Shang Haozhi felt depressed.

"Okay then, let me ask you another question. Why do you want to help "Y's"? You said just now that your author was defeated by Shen Xin, and you should hate him."

"Editor-in-Chief, I am an adult. What affects my relationship with the other party is not winning or losing, but interests." Wang Wenhong explained.

"What's the interest between you and him?"

"First, I am from Yunhai, and "Y's" is a cartoon of Yunhai magazine. If there is no other conflict of interest, I must support "Y's". In fact, there are really no other factors that interfere with me. Second, I want to be Shen The teacher is responsible for editing, so I must climb up as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to cooperate with him."

Shang Haozhi finally crushed the can, and the Coke dripped onto the carpet.

"Interesting..." Shang Haozhi's lips curled up, "But I think Teacher Shen and Ms. Yan will still cooperate. Do you think you can be his editor?"

"I can only say that there is a chance." Wang Wenhong is not too sure, "If the magazine has enough sincerity."

Shang Haozhi took out the paper and wiped off the Coke in his hand, "There is an editorial vacancy in "Comic Future", you can do it during the trial period first. Later, I will choose between you and Ms. Yan."

"Oh... If it's an option, then I don't want this position." Wang Wenhong spread his hands.

"Why?" Shang Haozhi asked in surprise.

"She is a girl, and she is more suitable for a big company than me... Besides, I had the opportunity to cooperate with Teacher Shen before, but I gave up by myself. I can bear some losses. Besides, if I take away Yan Fei's position, I really have no chance to cooperate with Teacher Shen." Wang Wenhong sighed, it seems that the development of the matter was not in line with his expectations.

After bowing to Shang Haozhi, Wang Wenhong turned and left. The moment he opened the door, Shang Haozhi stopped him suddenly.

"Wait a moment."

"Huh?" Wang Wenhong turned his head in surprise.

"I see. If you are really good, I will consider both of you. But if you can't meet my requirements, then please give up your position. "Comic Future" does not support idlers." Shang Haozhi Shen Said loudly.

"No problem." Wang Wenhong said firmly, but he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

The negotiation with Wang Wenhong made Shang Haozhi feel a little better, but Jian Xiaomei's mood was extremely bad.

After the comic festival, she couldn't find Ye Hexu.

She didn't answer the phone and couldn't find him anywhere. Jian Xiaomei even ran to Jiayi Hotel in one breath and asked the waiter to open Ye Hexu's room, but found that there was no one in the room.

At this time, Jian Xiaomei realized that something was wrong.

She immediately took a taxi and went to Ye Hexu's studio. At the same time, she contacted Ye Hexu's assistant. Finally, the middle-aged assistant told her that Ye Hexu was painting in the studio.

Until then, Jian Xiaomei's heart was relieved.

"This bastard, wait until we see him." Jian Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said.

When she was outside Ye Hexu's studio, Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath and emphasized to herself that she must calm down and communicate with Ye Hexu as calmly as possible.

The assistant opened the door, and Jian Xiaomei finally saw Ye Hexu, who was squatting on a chair, drawing at his desk.

"Tell me when you come back, I'm very worried about you." Jian Xiaomei walked to Ye Hexu's side, but Ye Hexu still didn't answer her.

Jian Xiaomei subconsciously thought that Ye Hexu was wearing earphones, but the earphones were hanging around his neck.

"You..." Jian Xiaomei worried, her eyes moved to the drawing in front of Ye Hexu, there were two drops of water on it.

Jian Xiaomei panicked, "Ms. Ye, what's wrong with you?"

"Jian Xiaomei, what should I do?" Ye Hexu turned his head to look at Jian Xiaomei, biting his lips stubbornly, but tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes and slid down his cheeks, "I don't care about the rookie award, but... I really don't want to lose to Teacher Shen... "

Jian Xiaomei didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only stroke his back, and said after a long time: "You're doing very well, really."
